- Before taking it out onto the balcony, transplant the seedlings into the selected containers. Use a universal primer. Be sure to place a layer of drainage at the bottom, such as expanded clay or gravel.
- Place flowers on the balcony when the weather is warm and the threat of frost has passed. This is especially true for open loggias where the outside temperature is high.
- Gradually accustom the plants to fresh air. For a week or a week and a half, take it out onto the balcony during the day, and then return it back.
- When watering, take into account not only the recommended frequency, but also weather conditions. In rainy summers, flowers in an open place do not always need additional moisture.
- Ventilate the closed balcony daily so that the plants always have enough fresh air.
- In the summer, feed the flowers with complex fertilizers about once a month. Select the dosage and frequency for each type individually.
Stands, hanging holders, flower tables
To arrange all the flowers and compositions on the balcony, additional funds are needed.
Pay attention to the hanging flower holders. They are comfortable, decorate the walls, and show off all the beauty of hanging plants. To understand what they look like, remember a standard birch tree with two stands for flower pots - this is the most prosaic, but still relevant, option for hanging flowers on the wall. Multi-level shelves or shelves with one plane are suitable. Boxes made of wood and plastic are popular. It all depends on the amount of space on the wall or floor and the flowers that will live there.

Some pots can stand on the floor - this is important for tall plants against the wall . If the balcony is open, low-growing plants can be placed closer to the floor with a lattice fence; for compactness, they can be placed in boxes. If the outer side of the fence is sewn up, then the plants require placement in other available ways.
